This collection of lessons is about learning, observing and directing the mechanics of our body’s muscular activity in tango. When we have this level of attention and integration of our tango technique, we have the space to free our imagination… And we become artists! Conceived for detailed individual study, observation and practice, for all roles and levels. Ideal for absolute beginners; for those who dance tango as hobby (for a few or many years), as well as for teachers who are looking to enrich their methods of inspiring students to dance better, and with a greater awareness.

Classical Tango Movements: Giro (The Turn)6.28 min
When we think about turns, we imagine we need to move fast, in circles, around someone or something. In tango, Turns are about walking. That’s why we rather think of them as of squares. And the circularity of the turn lives in our upper body. Understanding and visualizing the structure of the movements, and how they are ingrained in our body, brings ease and clarity to our dance.
